    Microsoft Windows\Office Questions

    in Software Hangout

    Posted

    You can purchase either Retail or OEM System Builder Kit Windows software from large online retailers like Amazon or Newegg, although there are others. Official Microsoft resellers may also offer this OS for sale. Both Home Premium and Ultimate have reached EOS (End of Sale) so any media left in the market are all that there is. Once it dries up, it will only be in the secondary (used) market as used or NOS product.

    Also, make sure you really want Ultimate. Go through the feature comparison to verify you actually NEED the things Ultimate does. You might just be fine with Pro or Home Premium.

    The Office in that link does not specify (unless I missed it) if that is the FPP (Fully Packaged Product) or PKC (Product Key Card) version. Just because of that, if I were to want to purchase Office 2013, I wouldn't from that site because I would be uncertain of what I would be receiving. Plus I never heard of the website, which doesn't help. Like the Windows OS, you can get Office from major online retailers.

    win 7 Unattended question

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted

    Not sure what you mean by warez as i don't use any warez software?

    That black rectangle with the non-genuine message was inserted into that warez authors, for whatever reason. We won't discuss it in specific terms, but Kel has already given a hint. Although, it may be possible that the Rt7lite you have is not a clean or original source.

    I found a "Locked to Win8" bios

    in Windows 8

    Posted

    Yeah, I suspect on the more limited BIOSes, that the Windows 8 option enables everything that Windows 8 needs/wants/works with. I certainly have seen some where you can enable Windows 8 and there is no options for Secure Boot or Rapid Start or what-have-you.

    I have run into this as well. It isn't specifically locked to "Windows 8" but it just uses that wording. They use terms Windows 8 instead of UEFI boot and Windows 7 (or Other OS) for Legacy boot.

    I've even seen one where UEFI mode is enabled, legacy is disabled and 64bit is disabled.

    IPB Update July 2013 (to version 3.4.5) - BUGS Only

    in Site & Forum Issues

    I mean this link:

     

    attachicon.giffind_likes.png

     

    Here I got the error. I overlooked your way. This also works for me.

    HA! That was my first reponse... see post #241. I confirm the Find Links button on a profile goes to the "Oops" message. I can't see mine nor yours... Although I'm not sure what that button is SUPPOSED to do either. It may not be implemented. The only other IPB forum I am on that has that button is Reboot, and it just goes to a page that says "no links."

    nVidia GeForce 840m drivers fail to install

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    I have gotten it to install now. There are multiple versions (I guess) of this 840m driver I had to try. The one I was using in the above post was labelled as Win7/8.1 driver v332.38 and I had another one that just said Windows 7 with the same version.

    Apparently, there is a driver signature issue in the one for Win8.1 that was causing rundll32.exe to balk at trying to install the INF and causing the installation to fail. Using the one for Win7 has the same problem. The difference is that this one opens a prompt to install an unsigned driver, which I've encountered before with touchpad software.

    Moving this topic to Drivers forum.

    nVidia GeForce 840m drivers fail to install

    in Device Drivers

    Posted

    I've been trying to install the nVidia GeForce 840m (mobile) driver and it is not working as expected. I typically will launch driver installation from an exe that is in the Startup folder. The drivers will fail to install in this way. All other nVidia mobile drivers work fine on other system. If I manually run the installation or run it via CMD, it works.

    Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 in Audit Mode.

    I have tried the following launch methods:

    RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\g840m\64\setup.exe -s -i -noreboot -noeula")RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\g840m\64\setup.exe -s -i -noreboot -noeula", "c:\temp\g840m\64")
    The second one is a newer implementation that sets the working directory. 700 series and older did not need it, but the driver for the 860m requires it to be able to install. Using either of those commands results in the software not installing and the following errors.

    It seems to me that the error is coming from DISM. :unsure:

    If I run using nVidia's debug log as:

    RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c c:\temp\g840m\64\setup.exe -s -i -noreboot -noeula -log:" & Chr(34) & "C:\NVlog" & Chr(34) & " -loglevel:6", "c:\temp\g840m\64")
    I have this error:

    So it says it can't read the file. I searched for this problem online but no similar circumstance was available.

    Any ideas?

    CPU Cooler Too Big

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    I wouldn't want the main chassis fan blowing into the PC. The only way the OP possibly could switch the fan to blow towards the front is if there are at least 2 fans pushing that air out. The other problem is that people typically will have HDDs at the front, you might not want heated air from the CPU going over those before exiting the chassis.

    [OLD] Aero Glass for Win8.1+

    in Aero Glass For Windows 8+

    Posted

    Edit:  Also, the "no one in their right mind is upgrading to Windows 8.1" stage.

     

    -Noel

    I would think that no one in his right mind would NOT upgrade to Windows 8.1!

    I would think that more would be on Win 8.1 since Windows 8.0 (RTM) is EOS (End of Sale) already.  

     

    LOL, I guess I am Junior now!  What happens when that changes!   :P  :P  :P

    You should be able to change your title in your profile. I think it was earlier in this thread, you and another user who are both "Junior" were referred to as "Junior" by two different people. ;)
